Legal and Privacy Policy

 

The following statement describes the overall Legal and Privacy Policy of TouchPointIQ, Inc. (“Company”). This Legal and Privacy Policy addresses the Company’s technology and how information is collected and used by Company and Company’s online partners. This Legal and Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Company does not own or control, or to people that Company does not employ. If you have questions regarding this statement, please contact Company via email at support@touchsights.com

 

Our Service

Company creates personalized advertisements on behalf of Company’s Clients (“Customer”). Company works with online partners to build advertisements for end-users who visit Customer’s websites or mobile applications to display personalized advertisements. With Company’s Service, end-users should receive personalized ads that are more relevant for them in comparison to that of standard advertising.

 

Our Technology

Company collects information via technical cookies placed on end-user’s browser.

Online web environment (desktop, tablet, and smartphone browsers)

Company “Flags” end-users to its partners’ websites with browser cookies. End-users flagged by Company are given a unique identifier. At no point does Company collect identifying personal data such as end-user’s name or address.

The browser cookies track the content viewed by the end-user and pages visited of the online Customers for whom Company is delivering ads. Pixel flags are used by Company to transfer browsing data from end-user of Company’s online partner's websites and applications to Company's servers.

A cookie is a small text file stored on a end-user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. There are two types of cookies:

  • Session cookies are used to make it easier for end-users to navigate on websites. A session ID cookie expires when the end-user closes their browser. Session cookies are used to run Company’s technology
     
  • Persistent cookies are enabled by our online partners to track and target the interests of end-users to enhance the experience on our online partners’ websites. Persistent cookies remain on an end-user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions provided in the end-user’s internet browser’s ‘help’ file.

A pixel flag (also commonly known as a web beacon) is an industry-standard, often-transparent graphic image usually no larger than a 1x1 pixel that is placed in a website.

A web beacon is an object embedded in a web page or email, which unobtrusively (usually invisibly) allows checking that a end-user has accessed the content. Company commonly uses email tracking and page tagging for web analytics.

Company’s partners’ advertisements are displayed on many websites, also known as “publishers.” These publishers may also place cookies on an end-user’s browser. These cookies are there so that the publishers recognize that Company has a personalized advertisement available for end-user’s browser.

 

Other environments (Mobile applications)

In environments that do not support cookies, like mobile applications, Company may use other similar technologies for the same purpose of cookies. To serve Company ads in mobile applications Company collects identifiers, such as Google Advertising ID or Apple IDFA depending on the operating system of end-users mobile device. These identifiers consist of a string of technical and random characters singling out end-users device which Company accesses via a hash (nonreversible encryption method) exchange provided by Company’s online partners.

 

Linking environments: (browsers and mobile apps used)

  • To serve end-user a personalized advertisement from Company and provide a seamless online experience, Company may link end-users identifiers across the different environments end-user are using (“ID syncing”). At no point does Company collect identifying personal data such as end-user’s name or address to operate the linking. Company uses exact linking methods by leveraging the technical data collected through Company’s technology such as Company’s online partner’s identifiers or email hash that online partner may pass back to Company.

 

Data collection & use

Company collects and uses technical data relating to end-user browsing navigation to display personalized advertisements.

 

Company collects browsing information

In order to serve end-user advertisements that are more relevant to the end-user’s interests, Company collects data related to end-user’s browsing activity through cookies or equivalent identifiers that record:

  • Events related to end-user’s activity on Company’s online partner’s website (such as mentions, likes, pages viewed on that website, searches made on the online partner’s website, etc.)
  • Information related to end-user’s device (device type, operating system, version)
  • Information related to end-user’s location (location, region, country)
  • Events related to Company ad serving activity such as the number of ads displayed to end-user.

Company also collects technical end- user identifiers from Company’s online partners for the purpose of linking the different browsers and mobile apps end-user uses and then serving end-user with relevant ads based on end-user’s behavior across environments (“ID syncing”). For that purpose we process and store:

  • Technical IDs of Company’s online partners, and/or a hashed version of end-user CRM ID or of end-user email address – the hashing method used is the MD5 which is a nonreversible encryption method. MD5 encrypts end-user email as a series of randomized characters that does not permit end-user’s personal identification to be seen. For example: a hash of name@name.com would be adcba66a9404c621ff21b597483e7a0f
  • Mobile advertising IDs (such as Apple IDFA or Google AAID) which are specific technical data created by mobile manufacturers to allow personalization and customer analytics in a secure and non-identifying way for end-users
  • Contact IDs of Company’s online partners, which is an ID that is assigned by the online partner to end-user’s personally identifiable information, is matched to end-user’s technical ID and is flagged and transmitted to the online partner to transmit a personalized ad via the online partner’s platform.

Finally, Company can collect technical identifiers from third parties for the purpose of improving Company’s ID syncing and be sure to offer end-user a seamless online experience. These trusted partners commit to only share ID corresponding to deterministic linking made between cookies and/or mobile identifiers and to provide an efficient choice mechanism to end-users (opt-out). For eg : the linking information sourced from Company’s partners could be Cookie ID ABC = Apple ID 123 = MD5 hashed value).

 

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally Identifiable Information is data about end-user that is personally identifiable. Examples of personally identifiable information include ip address, device, operating system, MD5 hash email address, or any other information that is publicly available. Company uses an aggregation of various public online partners that has been provided to Company for business purposes such as to serve end-user a personalized advertisement, or to otherwise render Company’s services. Company retains that information until removal is requested. Any end-user who has personally identifiable data in the Company network may elect to have that data deleted from Company’s files, or to be used only for the service requested, by following the instructions listed under Personally Identifiable Opt-Out later in this policy. Company will store end-user IP address, device, operating system and MD5 hash of end-user’s email address  for targeting purposes.

Anti-Spam Policy

 

TouchPointIQ, Inc. supports CAN-SPAM legislation and has adopted the following anti-spam policy.

TouchPointIQ will take the appropriate action against the sender of the email in question in accordance with our anti-spam policy.

All Customers must agree to sending only permission-based email as part of compliance with our Service Agreement.

 

All email recipients must have opted-in to receive communications from the sending organization, in accordance with TouchPointIQ anti-spam policy. An opt-in can occur either via a signup form on a website, at a point-of-sale signup form, or on a physical signup sheet. Any opt-in form should include a clear description of what will be sent and how often it will be sent.

TouchPointIQ does not support purchased lists regardless of the source or permission status.

 

TouchPointIQ restricts the following:

  1. Harvest emails from websites;
  2. Purchase lists (whether they are opt-in or not);
  3. Have a pre-checked field on your subscription form;
  4. Have a subscription form that subscribes users to an unrelated list;
  5. Send out unrelated offers or unrelated content to your newsletter list;
  6. Add an email address into a list without the subscriber’s permission;
  7. Email someone who has requested to be removed from your list;
  8. Utilize a list older than 6 months without reconfirming the recipient’s subscriptions.

 

Policy Enforcement

The strict measures TouchPointIQ takes to enforce our anti-spam policy include, but are not limited to:

  1. Review messages sent to more than 25 recipients;
  2. Utilizing a content-checking utility to screen and flag any message that contains words common to unsolicited emails;
  3. Maintain the IP address and date subscribed for every new subscriber;
  4. Insure every email, whether text or HTML, contains a mandatory unsubscribe/opt-out link at the bottom of the message. This unsubscribe link cannot be removed.

 

Procedure for Handling Complaints

TouchPointIQ will suspend any account found to be sending spam. Spam is defined as unsolicited mass email to persons with whom you do not have a business relationship or have not requested (opted-in to) your mailing. TouchPointIQ provides Product(s) only to Customers that follow our anti-spam policy.
